Rule of thirds!!!

[wryabin]

Pardon me if my little knowledge happened to make me sound ridiculous. I cropped my original photo in order to comply with the rule of thirds but i liked the original photo than the one that follows the rule. What do u guys think about this picture. Do we really need to follow these rules??

Original:



Cropped:

I don't see any difference.

Love the photo though.

OK, I looked too fast or—you changed it. lol

I think that it looks less balanced, because of the dark green bokeh in the upper left hand corner.

Rules are meant to be broken.

So how did you apply the thirds grid in your crop? Could you do a version where you overlay the grid and show what you are drawing attention to by placing it on an intersection of the grid?

just dd it in a basic way . cudnt do it with grids. sorry about it but i did it with an assumption where the grid lines wud intersect in those two images. and the positions are quite different. So my question is did the second cropped image follow the rule of thirds. And the first image looks way better than the cropped one in my view.

cropped one:

Um, well technically, the subject should not be in the center.

I think you have misplaced the intersection points. I have highlighted them below in the original and a crop that places a potential point of interest at the top left point.



However that is a rather mechanistic approach. I think this picture would be better being reshot with consideration of what is in / out of focus and how the elements sit in relation to each other rather than trying to fix with a crop.

I think the crop by wulf shows the subject following the rule of thirds but you know how you take a photo with a perception in your mind about the objects in the photo. I wanted to shoot wat my eyes saw. I saw bunch of mulberries but my eyes focused on those couple of berries. And my vision was wat i wanted to show to those who wud see the pic. If i wud crop it to follow the rule then it wud show nth but a hardly ripe mulberry nth else than that. And a message as an art wud be vanished. Heheh

Or may be reshooting with the rule in mind wud be an option but i dunt think we wud be able to get similar resulta , similar conditions etc.
